 ba Zappone\nETH Zurich\n4 days of presentations and a 1-day field excursio
 n\nSeptember 8th – 12th\, 2014Monday 8.09.2014 : The opening session add
 resses the Swiss energy policy\, the prospects of shale gas and geological
  CO2 storage in the context of the manifold challenges that must be overco
 me to bring these to market in Switzerland. The day’s main focus lies on
  the basics of carbon capture and storage\, reservoir characterizations an
 d injectivity modelling given in several lessons.Tuesday 9.09.2014 : The s
 econd day is devoted to monitoring and risk assessment during CO2 injectio
 n and storage. The last two presentations are on CO2 storage in depleted o
 il fields and enhanced oil recovery which leads directly over to the secon
 d main course topic: shale gas development. This day concludes with a visi
 t to ETH laboratories where experiments on rock deformation and mineral ca
 rbonation are being conducted\, followed by an ice-breaker apéro.Wednesda
 y 10.09.2014 : A full day field excursion will take the participants first
  to Swisstopo Mont Terri underground rock laboratory situated in the Opali
 nus clay formation\, the potential host rock for radioactive waste reposit
 ory. Here is the opportunity to follow ongoing experiments on CO2 storage 
 and discuss with the involved researchers. Then after lunch a hike in beau
 tiful geological setting at the hearth of the Swiss Jura Mountains a furth
 er inspection of caprocks and natural gas containing rocks is provided as 
 well as information on the state of exploration and knowledge of the Swiss
  deep underground. The excursion concludes with convivial dinner in a typi
 cal local restaurant before heading back to Zurich in the evening.Thursday
  11.09.2014 : The fourth day focusses on shale gas and hydraulic fracturin
 g. After a disquisition on the role of shale gas in energy supply\, presen
 tations on shale gas reservoir investigation and characterization follow. 
 A further core topic is the currently so controversial discussed exploitat
 ion method of hydraulic fracturing. Here the attention is set on the fract
 uring process\, the extraction design and modelling and monitoring of frac
 ture propagation. The presentations illustrate the use of monitoring and s
 imulation tools to characterize reservoirs and to better understand proces
 ses such as fracturing\, fluid flow\, recharge and leakage.Friday 12.09.20
 14 : The last day is devoted to risks and future outlook of geological CO2
  storage and shale gas exploitation. The presentations cover risk manageme
 nt from hydraulic fracturing\, leakage and flowback water and include cons
 ideration of environmental impact issues: specifically\, the assessment of
  seismic hazard\, and the footprint of storage and exploitation projects a
 s it appears in the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) including the di
 sposal of chemically contaminated fluids. Concluding case histories illust
 rate the methods used for completion and the lessons learned from the expe
 riences leading to the future perspectives.Course Instructors\nThe main co
 urse instructor is Dr. Srikanta Mishra from Battelle Memorial Institute\, 
 Columbus USA. He and the other involved scientists and expert practitioner
 s offer combined in-depth knowledge on the subject matter and university-l
 evel teaching proficiency. The following persons have assured their partic
